I'm fairly new to the game, so please tell me if there's any reason that these won't work. Slaadi Red -Medium Monstrous Humanoid - +2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence -Base Land Speed: 6 Base Swim Speed: 8 - +2 bonuses to climb and jump checks - +4 bonus to swim checks - Stunning Croak special ability once per day - Favored Class: Rogue Blue - Large Monstrous Humanoid - -1 size penalty to AC - +2 Strength, -2 Dexterity - Base Land Speed: 4 Base Swim Speed: 6 - +2 bonuses to swim, climb and jump checks - natural claw attack (1d6 damage) - Favored Class: Barbarian Green -Medium Monstrous Humanoid - +2 Charisma, - Strength - Base Land Speed: 6 Base Swim Speed: 8 - +2 bonuses to climb and jump checks - +4 bonus to swim checks - Stunning Croak special ability once per day - Favored Class: Sorcerer Satyr -Medium Monstrous Humanoid - +2 Wisdom, -2 Strength - Base Land Speed: 8 - Lowlight Vision - +2 bonuses to knowledge (nature), listen and perform checks - natural headbutt attack (1d4 damage) - Favored Class: Bard Yuan-ti -Medium Monstrous Humanoid - +2 Charisma, -2 Constitution - Base Land Speed: 6 - Darkvision - +2 bonuses to concentration and disguise - gains snake lycanthropy at character level 7 - Favored Class: Sorcerer

I am slightly confused by your stat adjustments of the Satyr, as they seem a bit backwards. I would go with either a +2 Dex, -2 Wis, or a +2 Str or Con, -2 Wis. Satyrs tend to be wild, hedonistic sorts, and they were known to carry off women and nymphs (in the mythology at any rate). They tended to be strong, tough, and impulsive, rather than weak and observant. I'd also consider making them immune to the negative effects of alcohol.

Windbit 03-10-07, 12:24 AM	I thought that taking away Stunning Croak and reducing the swim bonus to 2 would balance the Blue Slaadi with Red and Green. What else should I do? Also, I'll look into changing the satyr some. Anyone got comments on the yuan-ti?
taylors005 03-10-07, 04:22 AM	think you could do that for the fey'ri i'm stupid and get confused with my own work
fiendkiller 03-10-07, 09:45 AM	Are the new monsters for you to play as or will you be DMimg? If you are new, it might be a bit easier to just use the starting races. As for the Yaun-Ti, possibly +2 cha -2 wis. Besides that everything is good! fiendkiller
cog_n_taz 03-10-07, 10:04 AM	Good work, I'd love to play a slaad. By the way, could you do a monster class for them?
Draxo 03-10-07, 10:26 AM	I thought that taking away Stunning Croak and reducing the swim bonus to 2 would balance the Blue Slaadi with Red and Green. What else should I do? I would make them large, give them a -2 penalty to dex and keep their +2 to swim and jump.
Windbit 03-10-07, 10:59 AM	Done. By the way, the Blue Slaadi were already large. As for a Slaadi class, I thought about making the Death Slaad a prestige class. In fact, I think I'll make the creation of a Death Slaad an integral part of their culture. Here's my idea for the Slaadi culture in my campaign world: The Slaadi are a race native to the large southern swamps of the main continent. They were once united, but now they have split according to their kinds and made their own tribes in different regions of the swampland. Slaadi are bitter towards Slaadi of another color, for a reason unknown to the world outside the swamps. What is known, however, is that all three subraces are searching for a magical well that is said to grant a worthy Slaad incredible power.
